Hacking 5.01 exploit PoC

[Shah Isah]

Why did you go through all of that? I just tried it on 5.50 Beta 3 and it worked. Although I'm suspecting Beta 4+ and the final will have this patched. I might roll back to 5.05.


Boost Mode was added in 4.50.
Supersampling was added in the 5.50 beta.

Sorry but. How do you think you'll rollback? I swear updates are non reversible

Correct. You can roll back to stable from beta versions. You just can't roll back to a previous beta.

Gotta love when people "like" posts with incorrect information. @darkfuturez

They should have waited for 5.50 to come out.

Does anyone know if we can go in to the debug menu on 5.01 and mess with IDU settings using the webkit?

No, this isn't a kernel exploit, so you get none of that debug menu goodness, none of that pkg piracy thing that all the cool kids are talking about.

I got 5.05 confirmation, I went with that.
I'm gonna roll back to beta and try it there.

is this really a way to go if i am on 5.00 ? may i be able to get back to 4.55?

I have a retail demo PS4 and assumed that was my only option out.

How does this FW rollback feature work? I wonder if it can be ported to other firmwares?

So what does Userland Exploit exactly mean?

By roll back I mean I have another beta download code which I'm gonna use to update back to Beta 5.50.

There isn't any downgrading method (that we know of), yet. You can only "rollback" from beta versions of 5.50 (there's an option in the menu for that). It's an official method, from Sony, to let people go back to the previous stable version if they encounter problems and they're unhappy with the beta.

All right? There isn't any "HDD thingy which allowed downgrading..." There never was. If you see a website promising you that you can downgrade, it's 100% fake. They want you to complete surveys, download a bunch of crap (viruses) and possibly even brick your console, because hey, why not.

I was thinking that this webkit exploit should work on Switch too. That probably means a new entry point for installing the Atmosphere CFW

how is it a new entry point when its based off the current entry point?

Sorry, I didn't knew from where was ported

So what does this actually bring in functionality? (and what could I do with my 4.74 Old PS4)?

This currently doesn't do too much, we have to wait for the release of 5.01 kernel exploit to be able to do interesting things.
Until that my PS4 is staying on 4.73
